Having trouble with my RPI MQTT gateway talking to my first sensor

[fals3illusion]

Hello,

Finally got my radios working properly with my RPI Gateway. I'm now having problems with my first homemade DHT11 Sensor which is connected to a NANO V3 with a NRF24 radio connecting to my gateway and talking. Both Radios have a 47uF Capacator between the VCC and GND on the Radio

I used the code in http://smarthomeblog.net/diy-home-automation-sensors-first-node/

This is what I'm getting in the Serial Monitor of Arduino ..

And keeps on going and going and going.

Any ideas why it's not relaying information from the Gateway to the Sensor?

could be fake clones of NRF24 radio modules

@gohan

Right again! I got some other brands of radio modules that came today and tried them and they worked like a charm right away. Guess I won’t be buying the ones from makerfire on amazon again. The kuman worked so far and came in anti static bags. The other ones were just loose wrapped in plastic bubble wrap. I feel so stupid posting such an easy fix 😂

[gohan]

The first nrf24 I bought were the ones with blob on the pcb, I spent countless hours trying to understand why it wasn't working, then I figured that those were everything but nrf24 so returned them to Amazon and bought other fake clones that were working up to 6/7 meters and I got them refunded after 1 star review I made. Finally I got the good ones (more expensive of course), link in the shopping section of mysensors site.

@gohan

The Ebyte nRF24L01+ Ones?

Also, does MySensors get a commission off of the links provided in the store? I would much rather support you guys!

[gohan]

Yes, those.

Yes, MySensors does get a commission when using the links in the store (and most links in the forum).
